Monday 31st October 2011, it may have been Halloween, the spirits were certainly high at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham.
First time I have had chance to see Steve and the Band although i've listened to most of his music. All I can say is the live show was brilliant. No fancy light shows just a great sound from a great band.
If you like Rock/Country/Blue Grass you will love this. I took a mate who is Rock orientated and he was a fan when he left the Hall.
YOU MUST SEE!

This is the third time we have seen him and our first with the Dukes (and Duchesses). It was the best performance of the three although the other two were also excellent. Loved the new stuff and once again, fantastic to hear so much of his older numbers like Copperhead Road and Guitar Town.
Brilliant band and will keep a look out for the next tour.
Love that he performs in regional theatres although we travelled 70 miles to see him.

The complete round up of Steve's art. All the best of his social political landscape was here. Thought "The Dome" was the ideal size, but the accoustics were strange where I was sitting at the side in the circle, muddied his voice on the fast numbers, so you really could't get the words, and I know a lot of them.But I always think his greatest moments are on the slow deep felt ones, and there was a wonderful number whose title I missed, about the New Orleans floods,. Alison Moorer sang a sensational " A change is gonna come" All his band were multi talented, Bass Kelly Looney sang solo too. Chris Matserson a magical guitarist sang a duet with other multi instumentalist Eleanor Whitmore , who has a voice to go solo with. Brilliant. Steve also likes a one to one chat with the audience that is always very natural with a kick in its tail.
More encores than I have ever been witness to. An unrecorded one "Is that all you got" is a stunner.
Steve puts in a major shift, rather like those miners he talks and sings about. Great evening.

Fourth time of seeing Steve perform and he never fails to enthrall, whether performing solo or with the band. Superb mix of of old and new material contained within a performance length which puts many modern performers to shame. Brilliant band, both as a group and individually, supported by excellent sound quality. Only downside was lack of a Programme to give greater information about the individual Dukes and Duchesses. Looking forward to seeing him/them again.

First time seeing them,first few numbers slow start then they came together as a band and it all clicked into place.I've only once seen so many string instruments lined up on stage and that was at a Steve Miller gig,the difference being each one here was played,acoustic ,electric guitars,banjos, fiddles etc you name it they had it.
Allison Moorer was featured doing 3 numbers,she also sang a couple of duets with Steve.The other members of the band apart from the drummer also had a solo spot each.The show was in two parts,the second half was truly outstanding.

This show was packed full. The band played at breakneck speed all the songs we love and they looked so happy to perform and entertain. The sight of Steve's loveley little son in the wings pretending to play the drums was wonderful. A truly memorable evening for us with three encores. Well worth every penny we paid.

Been looking forward to this for ages - but was dissappointed by the lack of enthusiasm by all on stage (other than the red headed fiddle palyer). I like to be entertained as well as listen to good music...
and the music was probably good but the sound was way to loud for such a small venue - so it all ended up as just a big cacophony and steve slurring his way through most songs.
on the whole not a great night!!

The show was absolutely brilliant, have seen Steve several times and he just gets better and the performance by the supporting Dukes and Duchesses lead to a perfect night.
A good mix of the 'never get out of this world alive' material and old favourites - it leaves you wanting more.

.....Outstanding!!! Like a fine wine Steve Earle just gets better and better. I have been listening to Steve since the early eighties and have now seen him live 7 times and each time he brings something different. having the full show spread over 2 sets with interludes from the other band members was a masterstroke. Come back again soon....I cant wait!

The band were great on stage great musicians and Alison Moorer was also very good, my only complaint is that they must be the most unhappy band on stage that i have ever seen! Alison Moorer thinks she is in a Robert Palmer video, the whole band hardly cracked a smile or even looked like they were enjoying themselves. Didnt put me off going to see them again and they were on stage for 2 half hours which was excellant.

In someways I am surprised how many people have not heard of Steve Earle, in other ways I am glad that it is the way it is.
I thought it was a perfect sized venue to appreciate Steve Earle in concert, his chat between songs shows that he knows about some of the day to day issues we have to put up with in this part of the world, like trying to get us to imagine what a football match would be like if everyone in the stands had a gun- he gets his point across! He comes across as genuine and sincere in his comments.
This is the first concert I have gone to by myself but my desire to see Steve Earle was such that, that didn't deter me and I wasn't disappointed.
It started with five songs I wasn't familiar with and it seemed most of the audience didn't either but the beauty of a lot of his songs are such that the 2nd time you hear it you know you have heard it before such is the man and his craftsmanship as a songwriter and performer. I have never seen so many guitars on stage before and the change of instruments throughout the gig was smooth and did not detract from the total performance (in fact, it was pretty damn impressive) and only enhanced the audience view of the whole band and their skills.
I reckoned he was on stage for nearly 3 hours and to list every song played would be tedious, but after the first 5 he moved into more familiar stuff that warmed up the audience and perked up the band. Alison Moorer did 3 numbers with the band as Steve stepped back to the back of the stage before the intermission.
The 2nd half started off with 'Copperhead Road' and the gig seemed to move up a gear with the group and audience.
Steve's discography is such that there is going to be some track he didn't cover but I cannot fault his choice - I would find it impossible to make that setlist. All the popular ones were there - 'Galway Girl', 'Johnny comes marching Home', 'Badlands' etc, etc.
The last time I saw Steve Earle was 7th September 1990 at the Barrowlands and with reference to that and the sight of Steve pogo-ing on stage, I couldn't but help myself have a wee pogo too. The reason I remember the date so well as I have the ticket from that gig framed on my wall along with the Clash, Ramones, Prince, David Bowie and R.E.M. to name a few, so you can see my musical taste is fairly varied.
I was a bit concerned at the start before the group came on stage when a member of the audience raised his walking stick to wave to friends to indicate where he was, and myself at the age of 52 thought OMG an oldies gig but that was then balanced by the guy in front of me using his I phone as a scrolling message for 'Mike over here'!
There wasn't many youngsters in the audience that I could see but there was quite a few, which shows the spread of Steve's appeal.
Apart from the Drummer everyone in the group had a little spot and none of them disappointed and considering being compared to Steve that is no mean feat! One can understand giving your wife a little spot in your gig but Steve let everyone shine and I cannot think of another performer so comfartable in his own skin and not so far up his own ego to do that and that, I think, is what makes Steve Earle one of the greats.
I have been a concert goer since 1976 and this has to be in my top 5 as greatest concerts ever - no mean feat! I would recommend anyone swithering about seeing this tour not to hesitate - you will not be disappointed!

This was the first time I've saw the legend that is Steve Earle and I've seen some good bands this year the Hold Steady Loudon Wainwright III Flogging Molly and Mark Knoppfler and the super numero uno Bob Dylan but sound for pounds they really knocked my proverbial socks off each song was delivered with the craftmanship that he made and there duetwas unforgettable hopefoully the band are with us for the forseeable future and I get the chance to see them again top gig top performers this is what all gigs should be like Awrabest most impressed John Stewart from deepest darkest Yoker
